Sólo he leído cuatro libros de William Shakespeare, puesto que no es el teatro uno de las formas literarias que más me atraen, aunque cuando lo hago, suelo recalar en los más importantes como el gran bardo inglés, los griegos y aquellos autores cuyas obras de teatro hayan trascendido como las mejores de la historia (comencé a leer “Esperando a Godot” de Samuel Beckett y recuerdo también “Los poseídos” de Albert Camus inspirada en “Los demonios” de Fiódor Dostoievski).
